PHS offers young people gardening experiences throughout the year. They can connect with nature and learn how to have an important role to play in keeping spaces green and healthy. Young gardeners can learn new skills, connect with others, and gain a deeper understanding of how gardens contribute to the greater good of their community.
PHS works with teachers and students to explore the world of gardening at an early age with the hope of creating a lifelong love of horticulture. Young people, families, caretakers, and educators: Get connected. Learn more. Explore our current offerings today.
PHS’s innovative training program, Green City Teachers, provides educators, parents, and gardeners with a focused curriculum on how to start a school garden. Two sets of educator courses are held annually: a Summer three-day session course; and a Fall five-session course.
